Dumb or Funny Laws

Florida is weird

"The term “motor vehicle” was revised to exclude swamp buggies, deregulating the primary mode of transportation in the state."

"It is illegal for a doctor to ask a patient whether they own a gun."

"The state constitution allows for freedom of speech, a trial by jury, and pregnant pigs to not be confined in cages."

"One may not commit any “unnatural acts” with another person."

 

I can see why Jesse doesnt like this place.

In the glorious state Florida:

 

Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.

 

It is illegal to sell your children.

 

If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

 

Penalty for horse theft is death by hanging.

 

It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.

 

Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.

 

Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.

 

And I heard it was illegal to be arrested whilst showering naked.

 

…Oh, Florida!

South Carolina: When approaching a four way or blind intersection in a non-horse driven vehicle you must stop 100 ft from the intersection and discharge a firearm into the air to warn horse traffic.

I dont think ive ever seen this on my many visits to Charleston (Where pretty much every street has a horse carriage on it)

Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law is purely dumb.  Apparently, it only works if you kill the person threatening.  If you do not take their life, you will be thrown into prison.  At least that's how the law is working now, maybe with a little racism thrown in as well.

 

It's funny how there's a law that say's it's illegal to deface money in any way.  Well, it's not exactly enforced because loads of people write on their money.

In our military, we have three designations of orders:

1) A valid order: One issued to you from your superior, which is within the realm of duty you're assigned for, and you must carry it out. (Like drills or punishments)

2) A invalid order: One issued to you by your inferior, or which is seriously lacking in morality (Like the torture of captives, the use of excessive force)

3) A technically invalid order: One issued by a superior, must be carried out and only then reported. This one is just silly - it includes stuff like your drill sergeant telling you to wash his car.

Nebraska - It is not legal for a tavern owner to serve beer unless a nice kettle of soup is also brewing.

 

New York - It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.

 

Carmel, New York - A man cannot be seen in public while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match.

 

Greene, New York - During a concert, it is illegal to eat peanuts and walk backwards on the sidewalks.

 

Oklahoma - It Is Illegal To Have A sleeping Donkey In Your Bathtub After 7pm.

 

Oxford, Ohio - It is unlawful for a woman to appear in public while unshaven. This includes legs and face.

 

Talk about all the dumb, funny, or flat out weird laws in the world RIGHT HERE! :D

 

Here are some of my favorite ones:

 

Chico, California - Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits results in a $500 fine.

 

Kentucky - It is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket.

 

Ottumwa, Iowa - It is illegal for any man, within the corporate city limits, to wink at any female with whom he is "unacquainted."

 

Baltimore, Maryland - It is illegal to take a lion to the movies.

A lot of those are common sense, and that makes them weird.

Wayyy back in Americas history is was once legal to beat your wife... But only with a stick no longer than your thumb.

 

It's illegal for gay couples to marry.

 

Police cannot arrest a domestic abuse perp unless the victim wants to press charges ( it should be an automatic arrest)

 

It's legal to own, and sell police detecting equipment for your car... But it's illegal to use it.

 

A policeman can detain locked boxes confiscated from your car during a search even though they still need a warrant to look inside ( if they can't look in the locked box without a warrant they shouldn't be able to detain it)

 

You are considered drinking In public if you are drinking outside your house... Even if you own the land your drinking on.

 

Imminent domain.

 

Police can pretend to be prostitutes or drug dealers/buyers in order to lure in "potential" law breakers, even though the law clearly states that policemen must be abiding all laws at all times in order to carry out their duties. ( an example is a cop cannot give you a ticket if his headlight is out.)

It's illegal in tennesee to shoot whales on a truck

Gorram it, I had my whole hunting trip planned...

 

A few fun Canadian ones:

In Quebec, it is illegal to swear in a language other than French. This sucks if you live in Montreal, where it is illegal to swear in French.

 

In Alberta, businesses are required to provide a rail for tying horses.

 

In Quebec, Signs must be in French. If a sign is in both English and French, French must be predominant.

 

In Toronto, you must not drag a dead horse down Yonge Street on a Sunday. Geez, their mayor must have been smoking crack or something...
